EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a British mine-laying submarine of the Rorqual Class, meticulously drawn by renowned naval artist G.H. Davis during the pivotal year of 1944. The Second World War was in full swing, and this submarine was a vital asset in the naval arsenal, carrying out a specialized and dangerous task in enemy waters. The Rorqual Class submarines were unique in their design, specifically engineered for mine-laying operations. They were equipped with an impressive mine bay that could hold up to 100 mines, which were laid using a chute system. The mines were designed to be acoustically triggered, allowing the submarine to evade detection while enemy ships were destroyed. The intricate cross-section drawing in this print reveals the inner workings of this marvel of engineering. The submarine's hull is thickly armored to protect against enemy torpedoes, while the engine room houses the powerful diesel engines that powered the boat on the surface. The electric motor was used for underwater propulsion, ensuring silence and stealth. The mine-laying submarine was a critical component of the British naval strategy during the Second World War. Its ability to lay mines in enemy waters disrupted supply lines, damaged enemy ships, and ultimately contributed to the Allied victory. This print is a testament to the bravery and innovation of the British navy during wartime, and a reminder of the crucial role that submarines played in protecting the freedom of the seas.
